This September will mark the 10th instalment of the Scottish Fashion Awards, and to celebrate, the event’s organisers are doing away with the formality of banqueting tables and replicating a nightclub-style atmosphere.

The Corinthia Hotel in London, along with TV presenter and host Laura Whitmore, will welcome a fashionable crowd on September 3.

The nominees have been revealed today, with 2014 Designer of the Year winner Christopher Kane in the running for the main prize again. He faces stiff competition from a shortlist comprised of Holly Fulton, Jonathan Saunders, Kestin Hare and Patrick Grant for E. Tautz.

There’s also accolades for the best young Scottish designer, accessory designer, and international designer, as well as categories encompassing retailers, graduates, brands and manufacturers and communicators.

Four models will also battle it out for a trophy; last year’s winner, Burberry favourite Jean Campbell, is in the running alongside Misha Hart, Eilie Bennett and male model Paul Carrigan.
